I want SHIFT to only snap in the two 90° angles, because of these three reasons:

1) Too often i get snapped into a 45° angle when i'm trying to get snapped into a 90° angle
the 45 degree steps makes it very hard to do a simple horizontal or vertical shift, especially when zoomed out from a high resolution project

2) 45° are very seldom used, 90°/180° much more often.

3) the new guidelines panel is now a very good place to get a 45°(if for some reason you do happen to need this.)

and when making horizontal and vertical lines with the SHIFT. I would prefer I could keep SHIFT prssed down wothoput releasing it and still makes differnt vertical and horizontal lines. Now I have to re4lease and press shift to make a differnt vertical or horizontal line.

Can you explain this? i don't understand your suggestion, how can this work?

ah, but then i'd want to be able to have control over this value because i like it huge.

The nice thing (for me ) is you can start a horizontal movement then (althewhile pressing SHIFT) just let your cursor drop way out of the way so no cursor is in view
and only judge the horizontal placement in the knowledge that the vertical position is safe.

Right now this 45 degrees sliding is making my life hell (figuratively spoken off course )
it seems that on my cintiq tvpaint always prefers going 45 degrees over going straight, its 'just very annoying.

would it be hard to remove this behavior in the next built?
it seems to be happening much more frequently working on my cintiq then with mouse.
(when i had an intuos i used a mouse for my second screen but also this kind of actions)
